«El sí de las niñas / La comedia nueva» is a theatre volume by Leandro Fernández de Moratín, published by Austral in paperback (224 pages, Spanish).
In «El sí de las niñas», doña Irene arranges the wedding of her daughter Paquita to the wealthy don Diego, but the arrival of don Carlos alters her plans; the play criticises marriages of convenience. «La comedia nueva» satirises the theatre of its time with characters such as Eleuterio and don Hermógenes, reflecting the author's literary rivals.
